Based on the study of Kindbergia Ochyra in the world,a revision of Chinese Kindbergia was carried out.Results showed:(1)“K.arbuscula(Broth.)Ochyra”,“K.praelonga(Hedw.)Ochyra”,and Bryhnia serricuspis(Müll Hal.)Y.F.Wang & R.L.Hu previously reported from China are conspecific with K.dumosa(Mitt.)Ignatov & Huttunen.(2)The set of characters of somewhat dendroid plant habit,dimorphic leaves,strong and nearly percurrent costa and distinctive leaf base decurrency did not fit well those of the existing genera in the Brachytheciaceae.Thus,all Chinese ‘Kindbergia’ species were transferred into the new monotypic genus,Pseudokindbergia M.Li,Y.F.Wang,Ignatov & B.C.Tan.(3)Pseudokindbergia differs from Kindbergia in having semi-orbicular to orbicular-triangular,obtuse or truncate pseudopar aphyllia,conic-apiculate operculum,and inclined capsules.(4)Up to date,no Kindbergia species has been found in China.
